the murdoch papers have been trying to streamline, cut costs. they want to take their newspaper, seven days a week, and this provided the perfect opportunity to do all of that in one fell swoop. >> you talked about allegations of drug use by the prince, you talked about david beckham, much of this dedicated, early on, anyway, to high political figures or what we would consider sports or cultural celebrities. but how much did it matter, how much did it get into british public opinion when these hackings were also about dead soldiers and victims of terrorist bombings. her sister was killed in the london transit bombings. listen to her. >> it's disgusting to have anyone to have their privacy invaded in this way, but when it moves out of the realm of celebrity and into the realm of victims of crime, it's a different matter and really pretty sinister. >> did public opinion pivot because it involved everyday folks? >> to use a phrase you'll understand, this was the game changer. >> as you can see, it's a pretty hardy, pretty feisty tabloid cultural in

>> well, i mean, there's clearly affinity for newspapers by murdoch. it's less than 10% of the total company. and uk properties are less than 10 cents of share of value. so they are really not that significant. all of the growth has been in newer media cable networks now over 50% of the company's operating income, and there is tremendous growth in satellite assets like star tv in india and sky tire, sky deutscheland, bskyb. it's still relatively underpenetrated, a growth engine and a free cash flow machine. >> the price of news corp crashing the past two weeks, is it now cheap? are the shares now undervalued, given the scale of this crisis? >> yes, news corp has lost over $8 billion of value since the crisis erupted in the last few weeks. and we can account with the decline in bskyb share price, and even just saying they give away the uk newspapers which obviously wouldn't happen. they could sell it or spin it, but that's maybe $2 billion of the whole decline. so $6 billion is more emotional, more worry about the unknowns, but i think at some point whe
